The purpose of this exercise is for you to explore specifically when and where you developed a particular skill by looking at what courses you have taken and what you did in those courses.
Needing to pull a random category meant that we needed to think creatively about where a skill originated.
I also loved the activity we did where we received two cards with skills on them and we had to write how each class we took in 2 years of college helped us develop this skill. This was a really cool way to think deeply about each of my classes and realize all the skills I developed without realizing it!
